THEY MUST NEVER HANG"
A Wild, Weird Tale of Rescue OIL
Revenge

PITTsBURG, Oct. 3.-An evening paper
publishes the following sensational story:
"A couple of well-known gentlemen over
heard something yesterday that was rather
startling. The parties refere to reside in
Allegheny, and, being in the neighborhood
OF the Union depot, boarded the Chicago
train for tue purpose of crossing the river.
They took seat in the smoking-car next a
seat occupied by two men. Just before the
train rolled out of the depot an old man
with white beard entered the car, carrying
box about two feet long and ten inches
square. He spoke to the two men. re-
ferred to, and seating himself on the arm of
their seat, handed the box to one of the men,
and in a low voice, that could be overheard
by the two Alleghenians, said; There's the
box, now handle it carefully, fnr it won't
take much to make il 90 off This remark
at once aroused the curiosity of the gentle
men who overheard it, and they at once be-
gan to pay the strictest attention o what
followed although apparently deeply en-
gagged peruSng the papers which they were
holding before them The old man still ra-
tanned his position on the arm of the seat.
and was heard to say: Now, you both know
what to do just as soon as you get to
Chicago, go straight to Toms place, on
South Ha stead street, ana stay there until
the Supreme Courts decision has been
made. That will be about Tuesday. Then
60 TO see Parsons and find out what he
wants. Be very careful, though, to watch
the box all the time
by this time the train had nearly reached
the Federal street depot, and a. its speed
began to decrease the old man ros and CAV
a hearty hanfshake to each OF his friends
and said You don't need to be afraid
about going TO the jail for no one there
knows you, and remember, that no differ
ence what happens they must never hang.
The Tram stopped, aud with hurrie
good-by the old man left the train. The
two gentlemen who had overheard what
was said got up to leave the train also and
walked through the car III ORDER to get
view OF the two men who were apparently
bound for Chicago. One of them was about
30 years of age, smooth face, blonde
hair and fair complexion, with German
expression about his features. The other
was very dark, and wore a heavy beard,
and looked to be about Is years old. He
was recognized as a man " no had taken
very active part in one of the meetings ad-
dressed by Mrs. Parsons in Allegheny last
winter. He had been seen there by one of
the parties who had overheard the converse
ton, and who had attended the meeting re-
ferred to. His name, however, could not
be recalled
THE only inference to be taken from the
incident is that the parties we're interested
i'll the fate of the Anarchists in Chicago, and
apparently have devised some plan for
their relief, and are counting upon the ina
biity of the Chicago authorities to recognize
them as one of the prime factors to make it
a success. 1t would, indeed, be strange #
a rescue of the imprisoned men would be
attempted by PittsbAghers, or that bombs
to be used for the purpose of avenging them
should be made in this city. The two gen
tlemen who overheard the incident are well
known, and their statement can be relied
